Can a nonprofit subcontract to a for-profit to do the work?

Yes. While the contracted Prime must have a 501(c)3 or 501(c)6 tax-exempt status, it can contract to nonprofits or for-profits.

Subcontracting to a for-profit: Nonprofit organizations may subcontract a portion of the scope of work to for-profit entities. No more than 25% of the total project budget may be allocated to for-profit subcontractors.
